CW: Drug policy
Even in Alberta and Saskatchewan, people support safer drug supply: "The majority of respondents (AB: 63.5% and SK: 56.3%) supported safer supply programs that replace illegal street drugs with pharmaceutical alternatives for those unable to stop using. Predicted probabilities show a greater probability of support for safer supply among those with higher education and those leaning left on the political spectrum"

CW: Drug policy. Cussing in linked article.
A nicely furious piece countering Poilievre's nonsense:
Something May Be Broken in Canada, But It Isn’t Our Safe Supply Programs: Pierre Poilievre promotes misguided drug policy with half truths
-
CW: Drug policy
Minister Carolyn Bennett: "Poilievre’s insistence on pitting harm-reduction measures like safer supply against recovery completely misses the point. We need both, in order to save lives."

The video won't load for me, but the text of this article is a good summary about why Poilievre's notions are dangerous nonsense.

There's tons of coverage of a report from BC this week, but I'll just post this one headline & quote:
https://thetyee.ca/News/2022/11/08/Report-Let-Us-Down-Once-Again/
“We need to leverage this report to create a situation where we talk about this as adults in a serious way,” said Ward, “and to recognize this mass poisoning is a result of policy choices and that we can make different ones.”

Hello fediverse!
#introduction #NewHere I'm in #Toronto, have been in the nonprofits-using-interesting-tech space since the 90s, particularly interested in all aspects of #HumanRights and #HealthEquity, and am most recently working in the #DrugPolicy slash #HarmReduction slash #SaferSupply space.
I pet my two black cats, do #cycling advocacy, and make things (bread, jam, tomato sauce, quilts) which make me sound much more traditional than I am. Pagan/goth at heart. Connections welcome.
